Building a speaker, looking for opinions on set-up.

Posted by Gataca on March 19, 2012 at 22:00:58:

So, I'm building a set of speakers using:

8 Dayton Audio DC160-8: (4 in each cabinet)

Power handling: 50 watts RMS/75 watts max • VCdia: 1-3/8" • Le: 2.34 mH • Impedance: 8 ohms • DC resistance: 6.7 ohms • Frequency response: 30-4,000 Hz • Magnet weight: 15 oz. • Fs: 34 Hz • SPL: 88 dB 1W/1m • Vas: 0.87 cu. ft. • Qms: 3.47 • Qes: 0.36 • Qts: 0.33 • Xmax: 3.15 mm

2 Usher 9950-20:

Power handling: 10 watts RMS/15 watts max (full range signal) • VCdia: 1-1/8" • Impedance: 8 ohms • Re: 4.7 ohms • Frequency range: 1,500-20,000 Hz • Fs: 560 Hz • SPL: 88 dB 2.83V/1m

Crossover at 2500

I will be powering each with 265 watts rms, per channel.

Does anyone see an issue with this set-up?
